Boardwalk Cam

Whaddayaknow, the Ocean City Maryland boardwalk cam over in the sidebar goes dark for a couple of hours this cold afternoon & when it comes back on there's a different view. Never having been to the place, I'm as clueless about the new location as the previous one. There was an ATM on the left, now the camera seems to be aimed in front of an arcade. I did save a number of cam shots, like this foggy night in July:

A foggy morning six months earlier:

Nocturnal seagulls:

Cold, gray weekend:

People popped up from the bottom of the screen or emerged from the mysterious vanishing point, cop cars idled for hours alone & in pairs, blizzards & thunderstorms (never caught a lightning flash) & on summer evenings foreground crowds were packed shoulder-to-shoulder, you could almost smell the cheese fries & sun block.

Comments:
Unfortunately, Wildwood doesn't have a comparable cam. There's couple of good ones at Point Pleasant Beach, but that minor league boardwalk is deserted off season & closes up too early in the summer. It's not unusual to see groups of staggering college kids in Ocean City at 4 am nearly year round - I assume they're staggering, since they zig zag a lot.
 
Watch the tram car, please.:)
